Play only the root on the first beat of each change: E (bar 1, E), A (bar 2, A), E (bar 3, E), B (bar 4, B), E (bar 5, E), A (bar 6, A), B (bar 7, B), E (bar 8, E). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to E.
When each chord arrives, land on its third and hold it for a beat: G# over E, C# over A, D# over B. Then repeat with the seventh (see the table) to hear how the line leads into the next chord.
